Is it ethical?


Do you think it is ethical for free hosts to block off Asia because they are not being paid for traffic from those areas and are getting great volumes of abuse from there? Note that I'm not asking if they have the "right" to do this (as of course, they are allowed to do whatever they want), but do you think such a practice is ethical and fair? Voice your opinions!

Hmmm... in the same way that I block emails from China and Taiwan because I get too much spam.

Hmm...most of my spam comes from some lamer trying to promote his porn site (and sometimes even business!). Usually, the spam comes from the US or England. And I hate how these imbeciles seem to think that everyone needs Viagra/Viagrea/Vi*gra/insert-other-funny-spelling-here.

Oh yes I do! But it's fine now, and I'm satisfied...but the images sector of Google gets blocked occasionally and the Cached has never been unblocked since that incident.
